A local firm has stepped in and offered to try to sort out the problems with the extension, but now Mrs Williams is looking for tradesmen who might be willing to give a few hours of their time to help out.

She said: “It’s been a nightmare. Bradley Wyn Davies and the guys at Sirius said they would do the work for nothing but they need local contractors, builders, roofers, welders, etc, to give a couple of hours and help get the job finished once and for all – like a community DIY SOS.

“If anyone can donate materials, we would be so grateful.

“It’s just so nice that people who don’t really know us would help us like this.

“We’ve lost so much trade and people drive past at night thinking we are closed. We can’t have the front lights on because there is water leaking in.

She thought all was OK with the extension until the inspector’s report. In a communication seen by the Daily Post, Conwy Council’s building inspector gave a list of 10 faults which needed rectifying.

Asked what he thought of Mrs Williams’ claim that the work was sub-standard, Adam Wells, from AW Property Development, said: “I don’t reject it, because what the building inspector says has to be done, but she didn’t want us back on site.

“I have a massive portfolio of work and I have never had any problems except for her. I couldn’t go back and rectify the snags because she didn’t let us back.”

He also says it is him who is out of pocket financially.

“She owes me £4,000 and I have spent another £1,500 to put things right but she doesn’t want me on site any more.”

Miss Williams accepted she had owed the contractor £2,000 but withheld the money because of the problems.

She added: “He had an opportunity to fix the faults but he didn’t. He made it worse in my opinion.

“The Post Office is actually shut. A floor company came to grind the floor down but they said it was in such poor condition they couldn’t do it.”

A spokesperson for Conwy Council said: “The Building Control team are working with the owner to ensure the development is brought up to the correct standards.”
